I need to remove emulsion paint from an intercom device and phone

I might have tried my steam cleaner but I don't think that would be

I find methylated spirits removes emulsion with a bit of rubbing. Worth
a try - it won't affect most plastics.

Either meths or nail polish remover.

Depending on the plastic nail polish remover is much more likely to
affect it than meths. Both seem fine on electrical accessories like
light switches but the OP is talking about an intercom device which may
be very different.
